The "Other Girl"

I'm sitting in my usual seat on the bus

Laughing with Aubrey about how
Mr. Benson’s sub’s toupee was totally leaning
A little to the left.
My time with my best friend is over too soon,
And she gets off at her stop.
“Stay beautiful!” she yells, and she jumps off the stair to the curb.
I’m staring out the window and I feel someone sit next to me.
It’s Jeremy.
It’s times like this when I wish I could tell him,
“Piss off!”
But I’m too nice, so I suck it up and sit next to Jeremy,
His shoulder touching mine the whole ride home.
It sucks being nice.
